Crazy As A Coot

What would appear to be part chicken, part duck, part grebe is in fact an American Coot (Fulica americana). Often referred to as 'Mud Hens,' these birds act as crazy as they look! You will often find them 'running' across the surface of the water, chasing and charging the local rivals! While the Coots were busy being 'cuckoo,' we were busy enjoying a marvellous, calm, spring day! YEAH!!!

I have a passion for capturing the forgotten world known as my back yard! So often the grass is greener on the other side but I love to showcase the prairie and wildlife that surrounds my family and I.

Welcome to 'My Little Piece of the Prairies!' Cheers!

About Me

My husband is a 4th generation farmer and together we own and operate a 1st generation mixed farming operation in central Alberta, Canada. We have 2 fun loving, adventurous boys that love life to the fullest and thoroughly enjoy their rural life! The boys are our love and pride. They are growing up quickly and they certainly keep me busy being a 4-H Mom, Band-aid Applicator, Dirt Bike Videographer, VW Express Shuttle Driver, Heavy Equipment Operator, Jack of All Trades. When I'm not busy wearing one of those hats or when I am wearing all of those hats ... I capture the world around me with my camera!
